Finding Happiness in Each Day

Resort Review: Disney’s Beach Club Villas

First off….Happy Birthday to my DAD! Wish I was there celebrating with him back in Japan!

Mom, Dad me and hubs in Hawaii, 2011.

My dad has never been the biggest Disney fan, but he has always been a good sport so I thought about him as I wrote this post – I am sure he would like to visit WDW again with DVC because that means he could play a few rounds of golf! 😀 But anyway, a big birthday shout out to my dad, born the same year that Disneyland opened (there’s some trivia for ya).

On account of my travel fiasco, I didn’t reach the hotel room until almost 9 PM the night before the marathon, so needless to say, I didn’t get a whole lot of time to enjoy and relax upon arrival. However, my awesome travel companions Rachel and her fiance Tavis did snap some great pics and were gracious enough to share them with me.

Beach Club Villa: 1 BR living room area.

I was so very excited to have secured this reservation for marathon weekend: a lovely and spacious one bedroom unit! This one was appointed nicely and featured the fabulous amenities of a large living room area, (that couch is a fold out double bed) stocked kitchen, (with fridge, oven, stove, dishwasher) large bathroom with walk in shower and huge soaking tub, as well as a separate master bedroom, all connected by a GIANT balcony that overlooked the pool!

These accommodations were fabulous! I loved the themeing, the cleanliness, the friendliness of the staff, the size of the rooms, the ease of accessing both quick and full service dining and OF COURSE, the proximity to Epcot. And though I wish we could have stayed longer so I could have experienced even more of the benefits of the resort (I didn’t even make it to Stormalong Bay, boo!) it was SO awesome to take my post marathon run in such a beautiful setting.

In the interest of fairness, here are my PRO and CON observations from my stay at this resort:

PROS

Location – Let’s face it, the closer I can be to Epcot, the better! From my room to the International Gateway, it was less than 10 minutes…this was amazing.

Convenience – Another bonus…love the fact that foot travel, busses, car parking and boats were all options here – never had to wait long to get anywhere, including marathon morning transportation.

Rooms – GORGEOUS, large and well appointed, I had nary a complaint about our villa room.

Great review! We loved BCV when we stayed a few years ago. For all the same reasons. Being able to just get up and walk over to two parks is great. Anytime of year is good for me! We really loved the World in October and early December. Oh and early May. Is there a bad time to go to WDW? Hawaii is on my bucket list of dream destinations…One day.

I love winter vacations to warm places. It’s always amazing to get away from the cold, but coming back is so hard to do! I would love to go to Singapore at some point. That’s definitely at the top of the list.
